    How's the iCan Pro coming along? Anything you can share with us regarding that?

    NEW 2014 Extra Bass SONY MDR-XB950AP/H

    Looks to be a very nice headset for smartphone-wielding audiophiles on the go, especially since it uses circumaural headphones rather than the usual earbuds. And we could certainly use more of that! The cable length seems very reasonable as well; not too long and not too short. The gray is nice...

    Ifi ican nano - any impressions?

    Anyone have both the original iCan Micro and the new iCan Nano? It'd be nice to see a detailed review on the comparisons between the two, if only to see how well iFi managed to make a portable version of its much beloved predecessor. The biggest changes I can see are the lowered gain and output...

    Sony MDR MA900 Impressions Thread

    The recent rave and review on your gaming thread is probably the biggest boost of recognition to the MA900 on Head-Fi since that early shoddily-done negative review that killed the MA900 discovery bandwagon. By the way, anyone have recommendations on what to use and how to clean the MA900 pads?

    iCAN Amp Review: A New Amp that Gives You More: More Bass, More Soundstage and More Detail

    I have the MA900 and it is SO COMFORTABLE. I like to wear them a bit forward so the rear end of the cups goes under my ear and feels like a clip-on. I find bass on the MA900 to be polite but not overly so; it lets you know quite well it's there, but never overwhelms everything else. It's been...

    Not sure if this makes you feel better.: http://uk.gamespot.com/news/asiasoft-to-release-pso-2-and-dc-universe-online-in-southeast-asia-6409039 (also, inb4 t3h EU/NA people whine about how SE Asia might be getting an official English release before they will) Anyway, I thought the PSO2 IP block...

    PS4 vs XBOX ONE (What would you buy and why? No fanboy like comments please)

    Here's an update on the Index Holdings bankruptcy... http://www.siliconera.com/2013/08/02/report-sega-sammy-interested-in-bidding-for-atlus-parent-company/ Sega Sammy being among the bidders isn't a surprise. I wonder if we'll get some less expected bidders like during the THQ bankruptcy.

    The Official JRPG Thread (aka Japanese Role Playing Games)

    I facepalmed when Final Fantasy XI was announced as a MMORPG. But I've come to terms with it. Final Fantasy XIV being another numbered entry that's a MMORPG doesn't really bother me as much now. Phantasy Star Online 2 isn't terribad, though I wish Sega would do a more traditional RPG like the...

    The Official JRPG Thread (aka Japanese Role Playing Games)

    Now, now... let's not give Squeenix any ideas. :) Best case scenario given what we know is that Breath of Fire VI would be a MMORPG akin to Phantasy Star Online 2. For those not in the know, PSO2 doesn't stray too far from your typical MMORPG and has been out for PC and Vita, but there are...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Saints Row 3 is more fun on hard mode without the upgrades. You're forced to make your shots count and use cover (human shields, vehicles, hard cover) rather than go all Leeroy Jenkins. And a hit from a Brute is enough to send you from full health to two shots away from death. Success makes you...

    PS4 vs XBOX ONE (What would you buy and why? No fanboy like comments please)

    That's standard industry practice regarding TOS for everything nowadays. In other new-gen console news, a lot of that RAM may not be going towards where you think it'd be going. Also, the Wii U is doing pretty bad right now, due to lack of games (which might give Nintendo some incentive to buy...

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Too realistic? There's always Saints Row The Third... and the upcoming Saints Row 4. Also, no need to wait any longer than the console folks if you want the PC version.

    iCAN Amp Review: A New Amp that Gives You More: More Bass, More Soundstage and More Detail

    Nirmalanow, nice update on the batteries. How did you carry the amp+battery combo around? Would it fit in some roomy pants pocket or would you need a bag/purse/backpack?

    PS4 vs XBOX ONE (What would you buy and why? No fanboy like comments please)

    Atlus is a big name in the East, much more so than in the West. I don't think the big Western publishing companies (EA, Activision-Blizzard, etc.) would be that interested, especially since Atlus' major works don't resonate as well to mainstream Western audiences. Atlus will likely be bought by...

    PS4 vs XBOX ONE (What would you buy and why? No fanboy like comments please)

    Historically, the Shin Megami Tensei games were released on Nintendo systems. Shin Megami Tensei 4 was released for Nintendo's 3DS, rather than Sony's Vita. And then there's the Devil Survivor line... not to mention the upcoming SMT x Fire Emblem game for the WiiU. I think the Sony thing is a...

    PS4 vs XBOX ONE (What would you buy and why? No fanboy like comments please)

    But Atlus wouldn't be out of place if Nintendo bought them from Index. Remember that Nintendo has also been doing stuff like Fire Emblem for a long time (1990 if I recall correctly). Sure, they're nowhere as "dark" and/or "serious" as some of the later stuff by Atlus (they used to do some...

    Looking for a new game

    Have you considered Thief: The Dark Project? It's very heavy on stealth but uses a first-person view. Not sure if your disinterest is with the FPS view or the shooting. EDIT: Fallout New Vegas may also be something to consider. It has plot and you can play stealthy if you want (though it's...

    Bass boost affects more than bass

    I was reading the title and it reminded me of an article I read a long time ago regarding exposures to infrasonic frequencies. If you're curious about the article: http://neuroresearchproject.com/2013/02/19/1289/ Skip down to "The Ghost in the Machine" (from the date of the post, it's obviously...

    Weird Static/Echo noise....

    Default audio jack? Do you mean your computer case's front panel jack or do you mean the one in back coming out from your motherboard/sound card? Have you tried both? Usually one is noisier than the other. If it's the front panel, you might want to try what was suggested in another forum...

    Dilemma: Should I not believe any reviewers who talk about cables or just ignore that section of their review?

    It's the run-on sentences and lack of grammar. His spelling is spot on, so I assume he's from an English-speaking country. His Judge Judy reference makes me think he's from the US. He is likely simply a victim of poor language education (common among a disturbing number of people I know from the...

    iCAN Amp Review: A New Amp that Gives You More: More Bass, More Soundstage and More Detail

    I don't think it'd be too bad as long as it could fit in the side pockets of cargo pants or the pockets of a jacket. Being able to fit comfortably inside a purse or a small messenger bag would be fine too. If iFi is doing a battery pack, I wonder if they'll do any modifications to their...
